This weekend I got sick...
I woke up Saturday with a horrible sore throat and headache. I Didn't think much of my head hurting, 'cause it's fairly normal for me, unfortunately. I had to be in the kitchen at 7:15 to start coffee and do guest help. I reluctantly got up, got ready for the day and stumbled down into the kitchen. I started the coffee immediately, it was a family retreat and they were already lining up for their morning coffee. One pot after another, I complete lost count of how much coffee I made, I know it wasn't close my record (I think my record was 30 pots of coffee in one meal maybe more), but it was still a lot.
After the guest help I did breakfast clean and then I was off to clean Mi Casa (the Eagle Quest Lodge) and the EQ bath house with Kent and Lezlie and Moses. Mi Casa wasn't bad so I decided I'd clean it up by myself, I just cleaned off the counters, moved some bike stuff and then decided to mop. I actually strangely enjoyed it...I usually hate mopping, but for some reason I was sort of enjoying it (I must have been sick!). After some cleaning it was off to lunch and meal clean, then Amanda and I went to the rock site to set up the ropes and belay for some people that might want to climb. Finally, after 4 hours of belaying I headed back to camp, exhausted and with the biggest headache I've had in a while. I looked really pathetic, so pathetic in fact that LA stopped me to ask how I was feeling. She told me to skip meal clean and go sleep and relax. It was 30 minutes till dinner and I didn't know if I could make it through the meal, I had gone to the coffee shop with the intention of checking my Facebook before dinner, but just ended up laying on the couch wonder how I made it through the day. My head felt hot but the rest of me was freezing, I thought my head was going to explode. I decided that it might be smart to check my temperature just to see and sure enough I had about 102 degree fever. And I was sent to my cabin to sleep. I got there, ate a little and fell asleep by 6 o'clock. I slept for a whopping 15 hours!!!
I don't think I've ever slept for that long before in my life, it was crazy!!! But I was really tired. Well, I spent that last day and a half in bed and now I feel a lot better, no my headache, or sore throat, only a cough that's no even too bad.
Anyways, all of this just to say, I missed my mom a whole lot. I always do when I get sick and she's not around, but I really missed her when I was walking to my cabin thinking my head was going to explode! When I was little and I would get sick she would always read me Morris the Moose, Morris Has a Cold, the last line of the book is "NEVER GET SICK AGAIN!!!!!!!!" We would always yell it together at the end of the book!
Oh my dearest Leah! Please do as the book says and never get sick again! I am so glad you are feeling better.
